He is such a fantastic actor, but more importantly a genuine humble, and kind gentleman. Darn fine martial artist too.

[gxxfzbo]

He immigrated to the U.S. after the age of 40 and learned English. I think he is a very hard worker.

[AndorranStairway]

I hope this show wins many Emmys. Every episode has been a total winner so far

[Bewarthemn]

He comes alive whenever he plays a Samurai

[nancyrodwell]

Sanada sama is one of the greatest actors and one of the greatest producers ever. Trying to make everything authentic like it should be! I’m old enough to remember the “old time” actors of color who were “white” but made to look Asian or Native American. This film will so incredible and absolutely beautiful!! 🥰🌹🇯🇵

[olivierporte]

Can't believe he is 63... looks incredible for his age

[qwerttzizzi]

Happy for him! Usually in a supporting role..glad he is getting the spotlight and is also able to show the Japanese culture in more realistic way.

[OfficialMriLLest]

Let me tell you...
Watching the first two episodes...I am dreading the fact of waiting weekly. Great work Sanada!
This show is a masterpiece.

[BellDahl]

His voice❤He’s quite organized and confident.

Hiro hasn’t aged in 20 years lmao. But I’m so happy for them. I know for sure that this show would be good and I will like it. I’m also happy that Hiro-San getting the recognition he deserve he is such an amazing actor and my favorite actor of all time🎉❤

[prueeko]

For those who don’t know Hiroyuki in his young age, I want you to watch any kind of his movie or tv drama even if you don’t understand Japanese. He was so handsome and his voice was so sexy.

Thank you for bringing Japanese representation to Hollywood, Sanada-san! 🙏 For too long, Japanese characters have been represented by other “Asian” actors. I’m so proud to finally see an authentic Japanese cast! Watch the extras for Shogun; the production of this show is off the charts when it comes to detail and accuracy. ❤

[tobechukwuokonkwo]

Hiroyuki is an INCREDIBLE actor and will soon win an Oscar/Emmy/Golden Globe, and the actress is very talented

[マヌカハニー-ks]

真田広之さんの活躍を見て千葉真一さんも喜んでますよ👍
引き続き活躍される事を願ってます。

[NVA_M]

Shogun deserves every ounce of praise its getting, masterpiece

[MiltiadesTheYounger]

Sensei from Last samurai i admire your work, i can say you are the true Last Samurai!

[xxcarlosxx]

This guy is an absolute legend, and Anna is absolutely stunning.

[Aih]

being humble and yet being confident is what Sanada is.

[azzimaz]

Can I just say, I'm glad Hiroyuki Sanada is finally getting the recognition he deserves 😍 The man is such an under rated actor, thespian really and deserves all the success. Would love to see him in more movies and shows. Here's an idea Hollywood; a Predator film set in feudal Japan, starring Hiroyuki Sanada as a masterless Ronin taking hell of a revenge for the death of his master 😍😍😉🤙🤙🔥💪

I really really appreciate the way Hollywood produces foreign stories in the past decade or so by having local people speak the actual local language with each other, instead of a heavily-accented English. To me that is a huge plus and makes the stories way more immersive as they are being told.
